Dear Bryanna, Tooth number 18 was extracted 11 days ago. I'm going to see my oral surgeon who did the surgery on Wednesday for a follow up and to get the stitches out. However, I'd like you to take a look at the photo I have attached if you would. There is a fleshy lump at the end of the socket, no pus or drainage, just raised gum tissue, which is red in the middle. He didn't mention anything about it in his report, but the socket seems to be healing poorly on that end. The socket appears deeper there. Do you have any ideas as to what the lump is or if it's just a natural part of the healing. I had an infected root canalled tooth there before the extraction.
Thanks for taking a look!
GMarie I can't seem to attach my photo, but maybe you would know what this is by my description? Thanks for your time!
